ANOTHER PEPYS PLAY.
W. P. Lipscomb, who collaborated with Arthur Bryant in a new Pepys play, "Ninety Sail," due for recent production in London with Leon Quartermaine as Charles 11, is under contract to return to Hollywood to work on a new presentation if "Beau Geste." Many will remember the first Geste picture, in which Ronald Colman, Neil Hamilton, and Ralph Forbes made a delightful trio. "Ninety Sail" has a theme on Pepys's great work in creating the British Navy. It has had production by Buxton amateurs under Hie direction of Dr L. dv Garde Peach, himself a playwright. Edmund Gwenn, back from Hollywood, was to play Pepys. He acted the part eleven years ago in J B Fagan's comedy "And So to Bed." Mr Lipscomb, according to London critics, had benefited by his \merican experiences.
